AND SPOTLIGHT ON LENTILS BECAUSE they’re kind of the best carb ever. Some quick benefits: they’re filled with protein, lower cholesterol, amazing for the heart, support digestive health ( HEY FIBER ), & stabilize blood sugar.

Anyway, what I love about Blue Apron is the menu changes all the time & it’s always clean. With their services it’s really, very easy to trick your BF/GF/fiancé/husband into cooking for you. Like last night we had the whole wheat spaghetti with basil & lemon. You would have thought Michael handmade the noodles himself & seriously planted the basil, he was grinning from ear to ear when he completed the meal…so proud of the final product ( cute, right ).

Really though, it’s a win/win because Michael thinks he created the whole meal entirely by himself & I get to eat healthy while he’s busy thinking that.

Any other tips for tricking guys into cooking for you? Tell, tell.

Hi Pia, you’re lucky you have your friends! Blue Apron is SOOO good. It just makes cooking easy, you know? These days I am all about convenience. Thanks for reading, xxLauryn recently posted..The Salad Of The Summer

Haha, I bet my bf would cook with Blue Apron too! We’ve been meaning to give them a shot. Right now he loves to “cook” with Munchery, which means he puts it in the oven…..I just bought a crock pot to “save time” in healthy food prep – let’s see if he gets on board with that 😛Jill @ Champagne for Everyday recently posted..San Francisco Grunge: Rag and Bone Moto Boots + A Slip Dress + A Weather Report

LOL, Jill! Just keep working on him, gradualism is the key! I plant seeds in M’s head and three months later it’s his idea! Crock pots are great. You’ll love it. Let me know if you find any great recipes. Thanks for reading, xxLauryn recently posted..The Salad Of The Summer

This is one of those boxes that I’ve been heavily debating on buying. The only thing stopping me really is time. Sooo busy with work, but I feel like this is just the kind of thing that would force me to enhance my kitchen skills haha.

Babe, if time is you’re one concern, definitely do it. It’s saves so much time. Everything just shows up at your door step ready go. Cooking usually takes time to buy everything, wash, prep, cut, blah blah blah. Literally all you have to do is put it together and cook it. So easy. LMK what you decide! xxLauryn recently posted..The Salad Of The Summer

Blue Apron is definitely something I want to look into more. I just wish they were available in my area! My husband does not cook whatsoever and it’s actually something we were laughing about last night haha.Michelle recently posted..Monthly Online Income Report – $23,992 In August

Can we please talk about how adorable that apron is? I thought it was just a wrap maxi skirt. Adorable – never heard of Salt House (other than the restaurant in SF!) and now I am newly obsessed. That stew looks incredible. Love all the colours in it. I always joke that my bf would be so good in the kitchen – he’s sooo calculated lol – so this is the perfect way to make it happen. ??

I wish they would offer better gluten free options… on their support page they say they have many dishes that are naturally gluten free, however every recipe on the page for this week has gluten (mostly as a main component) =(

Hi Jen, did you sign up to see their full recipe list? They have some featured recipes but in order to see the full list you have to view the recipes list. LMK, xxLauryn recently posted..The Salad Of The Summer

My husband is actually a really great cook and loves to do it. However, because it’s something he does as a creative outlet and to relax, he prefers to have time to do it. So he tends to cook more for us on the weekends and I tend to do more of the weeknight stuff because I don’t mind cooking under a timeline or doing a big meal prep twice a week.Whitney recently posted..Studio Interview with Devon Ericksen, Owner of Pilates ProWorks in Edina, MN
